Right, that's what I understand but I can't *prove* it. Are there places
online where I can find a verified current status for algorithm
specific licenses? Like, is there someplace that RSADSI says "yes, we've
let go of MD5 and RSA for public use."?
Any help or advice is appreciated. I'm a bit lost when it comes to
legalese.
